Australian Seeds

By Botanic Parks and Garden Authority of Western Australia

A Guide to Collection, Identification and Biology of Australian Seeds

This is the most comprehensive book yet published on the collection, processing and storage of seeds collected in the wild. It has been written by some of the world's leading practitioners in the field of seed biology and conservation.

Text describes procedures and protocols that are of international standard and apply to users throughout the world. The book is illustrated by colour photographs of 1260 Australian seed species, showing clearly their size and shape. This allows collectors to determine if their collections are of good, well-shaped seed -- important to prevent unnecessary time being wasted in cleaning, storing and sowing of poor quality seed.
